Avoid Conflicts If Possible!



‘Avoid Conflicts If Possible.’
2 Timothy 2:23-26.
a)   2 Timothy 2:23. We are to avoid foolish and thoughtless discussions. Especially so if we are True Believer Ministers.
b)   2 Timothy 2:23. We know that these kinds of discussions produce conflicts.
c)   2 Timothy 2:24. God’s Servants should:-
1-Not be argumentative.
2-Be kind towards all people.
3-Be able to Teach.
4-Be patient.
d)   2 Timothy 2:25. God’s Servants should correct opponents with gentleness.
e)   2 Timothy 2:25. Perhaps God will change the minds of opponents and give to them a Knowledge of the Truth.
f)   2 Timothy 2:26. These opponents may come to their senses and escape from the Devil’s trap that holds them captive to do his will.
